Land Office has rendered a decision
in the case of the Northern Pacific
Railway Company VS.. Rudolph Dist
Ter, on an appeal from the decision Of
the Olympia, w. T., Land Office on
November 10, 1885. Distler presented
his homestead application for a quar-

dispute being continuously withdrawn
since August IS, 1887, and was also
embraced in the list OF selections for

1T WILL ALL BE LIGHT THERE,
A Pathetic Story of Home Life that Has

Children are counselors. They are

If the children were no more!

Worse than the dark before.
There is a family in this city who
are derendent at this moment upon a
little child for all the present sunshine
of their lives.
A few weeks ago the young wife
and mother as striker down to die.
1t was so dreadful when the grave
family physician called them together
in the parlor, and in his solemn, pro-
fessional way intimated to them the
truth-there was no hope.
Then the question arose among
them, who would tell her?
Not the doctor! 1t would be cruel
to let the man of science go to their
dear one on such an errand.
Nor the Young husband, who was
walking the floor with Clinched hands
and reOcilious heart.
Not--there was only one other, and
at this moment he looked up from the
book he had been playing with unno-
ticed by them all and asked gravely :
sis my mamma dom to die?'
Then, without waiting for an answer,
he sped from the room and up stairs
as fast as little feet would carry him.
Friends and neighbors were watch

Genius.

When biological science is advanced
enough for us to be able to put into
definite form present ideas we shall
probably be able to clear up the OBJ
scure and much-contested distinction
between talent and genius. All will
agree, one supposes, that wide versa
tility consorts much more naturally
with what we commonly mark off as
talent than with original genius And
the reason of this may, perhaps, be
dinly deserted in the considerations
here brought forward. For talent,
when distinguished from genius, seems
to mean superior ability to master ideas
and to develop new applications Of
them. And it is evident that this kind
Of capability is not necessarily limited
in it's scope. Indeed. it would appear
rather to exclude the idea of any unique
excellence of aptitude in particular
region of activity. And it certainly
does exclude an all-absorbing interest
in some one circle of ideas. Hence the
superior grades Of talent appear as re-
markable instances of versatility.
Diderot, Leasing, better still, Macaulay
may be said to represent talent raised
to its highest power. And, if SO, one
may say that talent has for its physical
substratum splendid average brain
average, that is, in the general equality
or indifference of it's manifold func-
tons, though greatly raised above the
average in point of strength. And do
we not seem here to approach physical
explanation of the fact that while
talent, as exalted common sense, is
something normal and healthy, genius
is apt to go off into abnormal one
sidedness ?-GesHleman's Magazine.

Along a Dutch Canal.

10 follow out the line of q canal is
to see continuous picture-now it is a
blue ribbon through the green of the
fields, again small village is passed,
the brown hulls and queer sails of the
canal-boats are continually composing,
and at its close you glide into a sleepy
OLD town, every inch of which is an
artistic Treasure, deepened and har-
monized. as are all its colors, by the
humidity of the atmosphere. With
the exception that they are broader,
the rivers present similar picturesque
qualities to the canals-the same low
lying banks, fringed with willows, the
same boats; indeed, one mouth of the
Rhine is but canal in Holland. Near
the sea, on some of the more important
rivers, q singularly beautiful effect is
produced by the large cities upon
them, with shipping lying at their
quays, and the broad, mirror-like sur
face of the water rejecting and
doubling all the beauties of color
present. How blue is this water, re-
peating the cloud-forms in the skies,
thrown into prominence by the vivid
green on the banks and the reds and
browns of the cities in the back
ground!
iceland, surrounded by large rivers
which seek the sea through it in
myriads of canals and bitches, gives o
peculiarly Dutch landscape-the roads,
banked UP, crossing the streams by
bridges whose arch, high enough to
permit the passage of a canal-boat,
often frames the most charming bits; a
windmill; a few old houses irregular in
line, the brown-yellow of their roof
tiles and bricks enhanced by the glad
blue Of the sky and sunlight-green Of
the fields. Suppose this bridge to be
ivory whitewash, and in the foreground
brown canal-boat, its stern decorated
with splashes Of "Prussian blue"
Holland has ever produced and at
tracted Undergraduates; and it is a
matter for surprise that the mere seeker
for surface beauty will paint anywhere
else. For to one who approaches ma
ture in more reverent spirit, to one
who seeks to paint her purest and sim
plest feeling-to q true landscape
painter, in short-there is here less
which is antagonistic, less which masks
and hides natures highest secrets, than
in any other spot.-George Hitchcock,

Is Kissing Unhealthy.

There is Scandinavian tradition to
the effect that kissing was first intro
duced into England by Rowena, the
beautiful daughter of Hengist. Again,
in Cromwells time, when the banished
Cavendish visited French nobleman
at his own chateau, the mistress OF the
house, at the head Of her mailens,
thus greeted him: "Forasmuch as We
be an Englishman, whose custom it is
in your country to kiss all the ladies
and gentlemen without otfense; and, al
though it be not SO here in this realm,
yet will be SO bold as to kiss you, and
SO shall all my maidens.
And now at this late day the habit,
which is as old rs the first courtship.
and which has produced barrels and
barrels of satisfaction from the day
which is mentioned in the sixth chap
ter of Genesis, when "the sons OF God
saw the daughters of men that they
were fair"-this beautiful habit is con-
demned by a hard-hearted old scientist,
who is probably SO repulsive and
gloomy that no pretty woman has ever
ventured to place her pearly lips in
contact with his cuticle of mucuous
membrane.
The idea! Only think of it. The
old fellow says that kissing is I'M
healthy, that the mouth is inhabited by
an innumerable number of animal
culie, and that these ore set free in the
act of kissing, and pass from mouth to
another. All right; let them come.
We are not afraid Of animalcula. Ed
change.

What Shall We Eat,

This is the age Of adulteration. Ar
ticles of food in particular are tempered
with in most heart-rending, or rather
mountaineering, manner.
The modes of adulterating butter,
for instance, are so numerous that
there is reason to believe that the only
honest butter is the goat. In these
olemargarine days, no one knows
on which side the bread is buttered.
Sugar is shamefully adulterated.
Occasionally sugar goes up so high as to
produce slight increase in the price
of sand.
Doubtless some of our readers have
heard or read of milk being adulterated.
Net long since milkman drank some
of his own milk, and according to the
autopsy his death was caused by water
on the brain.
There are several modes of deceiving
the public with coffee. One is to sub
stitute peas. There are great many
p's in pepper, but not half as many as
there are in coffee.
Pure italian olive oil consumed in
the United States is manufactured in
Chicago, the essential ingredients be-
ing lard, which, it is fair to presume,
has been previously adulterated.
Under the circumstances we are con-
strained to believe that there is some
truth in the following beautiful Arabian
legend:
THE WISE FLY.
Once upon time several flies flew
into kitchen through window. They
were looking for something nice to eat,
but they were not particular. They
We're willing to put up with anything
they could find.
The first fly took sip at some dough
which the cook had left in the pan. 1t
tasted very nice, but in a short time
the insect was racked with dreadful
pain in his abdomen, and in a short
time he breathel bis last in great agony.
His bowels could not stand the alum
with which the flour had been carefully
adulteratcd.
The second fly took sip at some
coffee dregs, and Immediately his head
began to swim, and he experienced q
sensation of nausea. After few fear
full contortions, the fly held up his legs,
and was relieved from his sufferings
by death. Oxide Of iron, with which
the coffee was adulterated, was more
than the fly constitution could stand.
The third fly tried the syrup and
dropped dead into the pitcher. I'm
less fly is provided with Bessemer
steel bowels he should never inhale
sulphuric acid. It's not healthy.
The fourth fly had massive, sixty
five-ounce brain. He had studied the
nature of his fellow-insect, man, and
was up to his tricks and devices. Motto
ing a box Of Rough on Flies, which
was labeled Poison" he flew gayly to
it, and fed voraciously on its contents
The fly never experienced evil effects,
for like everything else, the fly poison
was adulterated.- Teras Sitti,ags.
